Baltimore, MD, August 20, 2026 —
The deadline for the ‘Design Baltimore: Gateways’ competition has been extended, providing additional time for multidisciplinary teams to submit innovative proposals for transforming the city’s key vehicular entry points. The new submission deadline is set for September 25.
Administered by the Baltimore Development Corporation (BDC), the competition aims to reimagine three significant gateways into Baltimore: Russell Street, Conway Street, and President Street. The objective is to develop creative concepts that will turn these arrival areas into more welcoming and iconic experiences for residents and visitors alike.
The decision to extend the deadline was made following feedback from individuals and teams interested in participating. These potential competitors indicated that the original submission timeline was insufficient for the thorough preparation required to develop comprehensive proposals for the design challenge.
The ‘Design Baltimore: Gateways’ initiative encourages a wide range of expertise, seeking ideas from multidisciplinary teams to ensure a diverse set of perspectives in addressing the transformation of these crucial urban spaces. The focus is on creating memorable and positive first impressions as people enter the city.
Further details regarding the competition and submission guidelines are available through the Baltimore Development Corporation.
